SPONSORS THAT USE NATS: Will you pay up ??

03-30-2005, 02:35 PM

Electracash reports that out of 275 rebills 270 are missing, where I come from that's approx 95% shave on rebills. jasonandalex says it's NATS fault, so what will sponsors that use NATS do?

... pay up, or stay invisible ??

Nats is unshavable NOOB go home.

But in all seriousness. Shaving is when the sponsor purposely doesnt count joins/rebills.

This was a NAtS issue

Should this not be sponsors who were using Nats + ACH through electracash?

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

I could be wrong though... and there are tons of ways to shave with NATS or any software for that matter

Its the billing company problem and NATS was still working on it when J&A moved off NATS. Most NATS programs don't use electracash either cause there support and database is freaking terrible. One of the main reasons NATS was having issues I bet was cause Electracash has such terrbile support. I can't even email my sales people there or get any reply on tech support issues

Never have used Electracash (and won't after reading these threads, since everyone has reported problems with every back end), but of course we'd pay.

I never bought into that whole "non-shavable" crap either. That's like me saying I'm not gonna get laid this year.... Chances are pretty damn good I won't, but I'd never say it couldn't happen.

If we used ElectraCash for our check processing, you can damn sure bet we'd be stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing by our affiliates, those who wouldn't deserve to be shut down...

Unless I'm mistaken, the first NATS clients to get an Electracash integration were JSA. When the issue was found, NATS asked JSA to use a different ACH processor while working to resolve the problem with Electracash. New clients coming on board who had Electracash accounts were also asked not to use them as their ACH processor until the situation was suitably resolved.

So I don't think there are more than a couple at best, and it may be that JSA is the only case of this occurrence.

Accusing other sponsors of stealing from their affiliates is a completely ridiculous thing to do.

Attack if you like for my comments, I'm finally off to the airport, about 5 hours later than my flight.

I'll see those of you in Phoenix who are coming, and if you'd like to speak to John or Charlie personally about the issue, let me know. If you don't see them around the show, I'll be happy to set up time for you to talk with them.

RealityCash does not use Electracash for checks, I'd glad to say.

But I wonder about Aaron's statement, how can you deliberately and secretly shave with Nats? I don't know how, all I can think of is to change the join page to go thru other software, but affiliates can figure than one out in about one minute! I'll be the first one to say that Nats is not perfect, but it's not shavable and the code is not editable (too bad too, but there are some features we've been asking for that I would rather just have our guys add, but we can't).

I think if people say that a certain package can deliberately and secretly shave, they should say how.

The Electracash problem has been FIXED. Most sponsors don't use Electracash that use NATS.. you are trying to make a big issue out of a niche problem...

... you just drop the reseller ID or override it with you house ID before passing that data on to NATS, talk to my good old buddy greg lasrado and his american , ex IBILL, friend bob cox, they know all the dirty tricks.

I agree we have some things we want to add as well but it makes it really hard when the code is tottally hidden... but none the less were really happy with nats

Affliates can see that. View source on the join page: <input type="hidden" name="nats" value="MTE3OjU6NQ">. Besides, an affiliate can simply pull out his own credit card and see if he gets credit for the join. Check joins may be delayed because of normal time-based fraud delays, but credit cards never are. So there are two ways affiliates can detect that in one minute.

Simply changing the first letter in a NATS code to lowercase will result in a sale to the default NATS account

Example: MTE3OjU6NQ to mTE3OjU6NQ (Or another example: MTE3OjU6NQ to MtE3OjU6NQ)

Of course it's not fool proof, but it's one of many possibilities

yes - they can pull out their own cc and test it - but probably only 5% actually would do that

It should be public knowledge and affiliates should be watching for stuff like this..

I will not give any more example on the board though

Well i can tell you several ways , but NATS doesnt really have much to do with them.

Lets take the recent example of the realitycash FHG's that were being redirected to 10dollarcash sites.

Totally honest mistake , and i find no fault in realitycash in any way , but using the same method one could simply forward those 404's back to the originating program.

For example. lets say the galleries are for realitycash MILF site, and im sending traffic to the FHG's from my tgp.

So you have the FHG's on several servers to help balance the loads. All you have to do is remove that gallery from one of the servers for a certain amount of time each day, or if you were clever you would simply do what tgp cheaters do and track the ip of each affiliate and then make sure they never see the 404. Or rotate out the galleries.

The only way to find out would be to check 1000 fhg's source code for your NATS code ( that changes for each program ) every day.

OK, say you run 3 different processors,

There is a cron job that runs nightly for each of those processors which polls the processors, and pulls in renewals, cancellations, CB, & credits..

Since ( for most ) NATS does not control the addition and deletion of the username and password, there would be no "real" need to run the cron job for say 1 of the 3 processors..

So if you don't run 1 of the three cronjobs that pulls rebills from the processors, you just shaved all the rebills from that procesor, and the affiliate would never know, as NATS doesn't show them WHO rebilled, and WHICH processor the rebills came from...

Now granted, NATS could probably easily catch a program that is doing something like this, and it's quite possible that they have something in the code to monitor that to keep it from happening...

That has nothing to do with Nats, that is a hosted gallery problem, and is detectable by affiliates.

In conclusion.

Is NATS shaveable? NO.

Can you use NATS and still shave? YES

Is there really much difference ? Not really.

Should people go with nats because they think it means they cant be shaved ? Not in my opinion.

Is NATS a great piece of software ? From everything i have heard it is, other than some minor glitches.

I think Nats would catch that, and even if it didn't, it would only effect reshare programs, it would not allow a per-signup program like RealityCash to shave.

That has nothing to do with Nats, that is a hosted gallery problem, and is detectable by affiliates.

Yes i agree it doesnt really have anything to do with NATS , other than the fact that it could be used with NATS. So the fact a sponsor uses NATS doesnt mean they dont shave , thats all i was trying to say.. Because NATS was sort of promoted in that manner i think its only fair to say..

And in my example above , it wont be detected by affiliates unless they check each page thousands of times a day .. ( thats not feasable )

Duke Dollars does not use Electracash. If we owed, it would be paid for sure. We paid out on IBill, so this would be no different.
